[MOD] PseudoTV (Script View) for reFocus

To use the icons, you need to make sure the channel name is exactly the same as the image's file name. So, for example, if you wanted to use the Animation Station icon you'd need to make sure you have an Animation Station channel.

Does that OSD work for all the video (as shown in the first screenshot) work for just playing video?

Could your mod be altered so that the OSD appears for say 10 seconds when a new episode/film starts?

Pressing i will bring that OSD at any time while watching a video. You can then press left to see which videos you watched / missed and press right to see which videos are coming up for the channel you are currently on.

I'll soon be adding ability to click 'ok' to skip to video and start playing it. Also, I'll be adding in up and down actions to switch the channels.

It sure can and is something I've always wanted to add in. I've already started looking into it and should be in the next update.

Good, was going to look into it myself but wasn't sure if this being a script would be a limitation, since you're going to implement it I'll leave it to you.

I have looked at the wiki, would someone mind pasting an example script they use for tv shows? I cant seem to make it work!

Tried to get this working, used this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
<name>Movie Comedy Channel</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="genre" operator="is">Comedy</rule>
<limit>100</limit>
<order direction="ascending">random</order>
</smartplaylist>

to create a movie channel, named it Channel_1.xsp and placed it in the dir, all it did was start playing stuff then crash.

I'm sorry, I asked in a totally messed up (and frankly unreadable) manner. What I meant was, will that OSD (as I said, shown in that image) work for all video, or just for watching TV? I don't use XBMC for watching TV, but I like that style OSD. It's better than what currently in reFocus when I hit the 'i' button IMO.

The OSD shown in that image will only appear while using this addon. Jereon is currently working on adding it the reFocus to replace the current OSD.

Also, I just wanted to point out this addon isn't for live TV. It uses the videos already stored on your system through the use of smart playlists.

Your playlist looks correct. Can you please upload a coy of you debug log to pastebin.com so we can see why it is crashing for you.
